Determination of adjusted reference intervals of urinary biomarkers of oxidative stress in healthy adults using GAMLSS models by Chamitava, Liliya, Garcia-Larsen, Vanessa, Cazzoletti, Lucia, Degan, Paolo, Pasini, Andrea, Bellisario, Valeria, Corsico, Angelo G., Nicolis, Morena, Olivieri, Mario, Pirina, Pietro, Ferrari, Marcello, Stasinopoulos, Dimitrios, Zanolin, Maria E.

“…The RI of the biomarkers stratified by season and adjusted for DFC showed a slight statistically significant decrease in the biomarkers at the increasing DFC in two seasons, except the 8-oxodG during the warm season: median levels at the min and max values of DFC were (ng/mgcreat) 7.0-1.1 in the cold and 3.9-3.9 in the warm seasons for 8-oxodG, 0.7-0.2 in the cold and 1.3-0.6 in the warm seasons for 8-isoprostane. …”

Business cycles, interest rates and market volatility : estimation and forecasting using DSGE macroeconomic models under partial information by Perendija, Djordje V.

“…Consequently, the first part of this research project was aiming to improve the DSGE econometric methods by introducing novel solution for DSGE models with imperfect, partial information about the current values of deep variables and shocks, and apply this solution to imperfectly informed multiple agents with their different, inner-rationality models. Along these lines, this research also shows that DSGE models can be extended and suited to both, fitting and estimation of long-term yield curve, and to estimating with rich data sets by extending further its inner-mechanism. …”

The great problems are in the street : a phenomenology of men's stranger intrusions on women in public spaces by Vera-Gray, Fiona

“…Secondly it explores reconnecting feminist research on VAWG to women’s ordinary experience of men’s intrusion, revealing how the necessary focus on policy has led to a steep rise in knowledge about some forms of VAWG to the detriment of investigating men’s violence and intrusion in women’s everyday lives. The third aim, to understand the consequences of men’s intrusion for how women live and experience their bodily-self, resulted in a theoretical framework which suggests possibilities in the work of Simone de Beauvoir for feminists looking to reconnect questions of women’s agency and autonomy to a context of structural power relations. …”
